Cabot's waterproof cement stains.
This 1910 trade sample card from Samuel Cabot Incorporated, a Boston maker, shows numbered colour swatches of waterproof cement stains for masons and builders choosing finishes for concrete and stucco. The picture is a grid of textured colour chips labelled with names such as Lichen Green, Light Fawn, Deep Cream and Dark Brownstone, offering a designer a tidy archive of muted earth tones with stippled, mineral surfaces suited to architectural palettes.
